THREE SIMPLE STEPS

How to use json formatter

  1. Paste JSON into the input editor.
  2. Choose indentation and select Format or Minify.
  3. Copy or download the formatted result.
Good to know

Validation uses the browser JSON parser. Comments, trailing commas and JavaScript expressions are not valid JSON. Like JSON.parse, the tool can lose precision for numeric values outside JavaScript safe-integer limits, and duplicate object keys keep only their last value. Represent exact large identifiers as strings.

A few useful answers

Does it accept JSON with comments?+

No. Comments are not part of standard JSON. Remove them before formatting.

Can I paste sensitive credentials?+

The tool does not upload editor content. Still, avoid putting live credentials into any browser page unless you trust that page and its extensions.
